I have Scott Sonnon's King of Clubs, which is a two hand program. I have some of his older books and a DVD set he put out years ago. I have 2 15lb clubs but have trouble playing them with my current household technology.

I mostly use KBs with clubs as an adjunct. I mostly use Geoff Neupert's programs.

I want to work in more club work, especially single arm work, or double clubs. Want to get adjustable clubs in the future. My shoulder could use some flexibility and decompression work, plus rotational work is usually better with clubs.

For now, what is best free resource for single club movements and programs for now before I sink more money into programs? I am aware of Scott Sonnon and Mark Wildman and would consider one of their paid programs at some point. Scott Sonnon is excellent bmm. He is the OG of clubbells as well as a reknowned martial artist. Mark Wildman is also great. I think Scott is better priced for programs. However Mark looks like he has more long term material and progressions as well as uses adjustable Adex clubs..

Thoughts?

Hey so I'm getting back into clubs. Been about 5-7 years since I've last done anything with mine.

Finding that I've sold/gave away many and now I have mismatched sets.

I have pair of 5lb, single 10lb, pair of 20b clubbels from RMax Sonnon guy or whatever the original clubbell brand was called about 15-17 years ago.

15kg (33lb) metal prototype club (thick, thick grip) from Agatsu, Canadian kettlebell company. And another RMax 45lb single club.

I'm thinking of getting a matching pair for the 10lb and something in-between like a 15lb pair for progression.

My big concern is consistently and properly matched/balanced clubs.

Wondering if anyone knows any 10lb club brands that would paid with the old 10lb one I got or is it just better to get two new ones?

Also will it matter if I switch up club handle thickness/shape for the 15lbs compared to 10s and 20s I already got?

Has anybody purchased the Wilmdman single arm club program? What is your experience? Thinking about purchasing it but it is a hefty 300 bucks. Is it much than his YouTube since he explains it so well on his YT? Thinking about doing some sort of well structured program like his but also thinking about just doing the progress towards a mill like he shows in his YT videos.

I've been using steel maces for the past few years, from 5, 8 & 10 kilos. I've been thinking about getting some clubs. Just curious about what weight to start with? I initially bought a 10k mace and it was way too heavy for me - I use it almost daily now, but I don't want to make the same mistake and buy something too heavy. Any suggestions about which weight to start with would be appreciated. Thanks in advance

Found a adjustable clubbell in UK. From omnibell recently just released. Sold out quite quickly, has anyone got one.

Looking forward to restocking of clubbell, 5-20kilo adjustability so plenty to play with.

Would love to hear a review if someone had one. Looks like adex to a degree.

Hey everyone. After some extended research, I think I need to start doing clubbell work to get my shoulder flexibility under control. I am 51 now and have been working out since I the ago of 16, plus I played American Football for about 13 years back in Germany. Bad workout form and heavy impact playing football left some marks and there are a lot of things I just have a tough time doing due to shoulder pain/flexibility. I am 5 feet 9 and looking to incorporate clubbells to my workout routine. Not sure if I want to dish out the money to get some Tacfit clubs or start with some cheaper, but shorter version clubbells. I think I want to get a pair of 10lb and 15lb clubs. There are clubbed on sake from Proiron on Amazon, which look like a good starting point. Any input is appreciated.

Hi everyone, I am anxious to snatch a new club now that some are on black Friday week deals.

I have a 4 , an 8, (steel clubs) and a 10 k MACE (bad company). I am pretty agile with the 8k, doing one handed mills, pendulums etc... for time.

Can't splurge on an adjustable, but I want a heavy club bell (metal, does not have to be rubber coated) , for very challenging 2 handed work. I am tempted to go to 20kg, but is perhaps 15-16kg more suitable?

I do body weight exercises and heavy sandbag workouts. I injured by shoulder about 10 years ago would clubbells be good for shoulder longevity?

I'm new to clubs but tempted to get an adjustable one. I've got a few kettlebells taking up space, so I wish I'd gotten one high quality adjustable kettlebell instead.

People seem to like the Adex: https://adexclub.com/products/original-handle-club-kit

I'm in Europe so Id have to get the Eryx instead, but it looks similar: https://www.eryxfitness.com/en/product/adjustable-clubbell/

I'm a beginner and would be starting at the lower weights, which means they won't be very long. This must affect the leverage you get? Is this an issue?

I switch each week between Kettlebells and 2 hand Club.

Im using an Adex adjustable right now and im at 20lbs working up slowly and carefully towards the Mastodon Kit or wherever I end up maxing out, with the adjustable kettle bells im at around 40lbs each and working up to 70lbs.

With kettle bells I like doing Dan Johns ABCs (armour building complex), 2 cleans > 1 press > 3 front squats with 2 kettle bells as my hardcore butt kicker workout. On the "lighter" days, snatches followed by continuous 2 bell swings for some simple full body workouts.

Going off that im doing 2 hand mills followed by continuous kettle bell swings afterwards as my "light workout" and im looking for something in the vein of the ABCs where its a harder workout. Just taking the ABC formula and plugging some new numbers in I get

2 swipes > 1 Gama Cast > 3 Front Squats.

Switch Shoulders and swap hands and repeat for 1 Clubbell ABC set.

Gives 4 Swipes, 2 Gama Casts, 6 Squats total for 1 set.

Im working towards 50 sets the same way I am for the Kettlebell ABC.

100x2 swipes 50x2 gama cast 300 squats

Any opinions or thought or modifications I should make. The squats sound high but the club is only around half the weight 2 kettle bells I think it works out okay. Did some today and I like it, forgot to count sets but stopped when my legs got sore so I dont regret it tomorrow.

Does anyone have suggestions? Stretching? Thanks

Hey guys!

So as the title states I’m new to clubs and have just purchased an adjustable club.

What are some exercises I should learn first?

Any good beginner programs?

Btw I already do calisthenics (nothing too crazy) and kettlebells. Thought clubs would be a good addition to my training. Would like to work on more rotational movements. I’m already aware of the benefits of club training.

Any tips and advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks guys 😁

I'm looking for a carrying bag/case for my ADEX club.

I assume any standard bat bag would be OK from a size/fit perspective, but I worry about the durability of the material/strap when the club is heavily weighted.

Wondering if anybody has a specific recommendation for a bag/case. Thanks.

Hey guys!

Am new to club training and am about to buy an adjustable club from Maverick - the bamboo one.

Just wanted to know what is an ideal length? Their clubs start at 60cm, the “torque” which is a longer club is 80cm.

Just wanted to get opinions on this from experienced club users.

Thanks guys

Wanting to incorporate some swings to hopefully improve wrist and shoulder mobility/health while improving core and grip strength. What would you guys advise as a first purchase? I’m leaning towards a 15 lb mace but also like the idea of a club or possibly a pair of them. I’m 6’ 230 and pretty strong/athletic. Feedback appreciated.

I'm completely new when it comes to Club/mace training, and I've come across this video called "Nothing builds forearms like club and mace training (here's why)" By Vahva Fitness.

It interested me because I've been looking ways to build my forearms, wrists,and grip. This looks fun, and checks all the boxes. The problem is that I don't know the names of these movements, so i can't search how to do them properly. Does any know some of the names so i can get started?

Hi,

What I'm referring to as "push forward" is the inside/outside circle and the side-to-side swing as taught by Mark Wildman.

I want to get good at clubs, but what's limiting my progression is pain in my wrist that comes from pushing my pinky to my wrist. (Lie your hand and forearm palm down on a surface to see what I'm talking about).

The pain is in the ulnar side of my wrist and it even makes writing painful. Any (p)rehab exercise you can recommend?

Recently I have been consistently working on heavy club shield cast and the result has blown me away. I'm only a few weeks in and my shoulders go from flimsy and borderline broken to robust and solid in a very short time frame. I simply can't believe I haven't tried heavy clubs sooner.

I'm wondering if there are exercises as effective to knees as shield cast to shoulders? As I also have problematic knees.

Thank you, guys!

Hi, a quick question about a technical cue when training with a heavy club - when doing arcing movements (pendulums, shield casts, circles, etc.), should I be aiming to find the "flow" in the movement like you tend to do with a mace?

What I mean by that is that when I swing a mace, I try to time the ball's momentum, so my muscles are fighting the weight only when they have to, not all the time. Kind of like in some kettlebell ballistics, where you have moments of intense exertion and moments where the bell is almost weightless and you can just gently guide it.

Not sure if I am supposed to do the same with a heavy club, though. "Flowing" with a club is much harder since the lever is not as pronounced, but I feel like I am able to get that momentum cycle going if I swing it just right. Is that correct technique though? Should I try to time the momentum as well and not "fight" the club or should my muscles be actively controlling the weight throughout the entire range of motion?

Of course I imagine there are different approaches based on your goals, so I will add here that my goal is mainly shoulder health and endurance, not building max strength with a club.

Thank you in advance for any tips!
